Jennifer Lopez officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August 2024, marking the end of their two-year marriage. According to sources, Ben Affleck is now reportedly eager to conclude the divorce proceedings, hoping to find closure and move forward.
An insider recently revealed to DailyMail that the primary reason for Ben’s urgency is his frustration with the persistent public interest surrounding his relationship with Lopez. “Ben, now 52, is exhausted by the constant questions and speculation about J.Lo. Everywhere he goes, it’s like he’s haunted by their past. Photographers, reporters, and even casual onlookers seem fixated on bringing up 'J.Lo this' and 'J.Lo that,' which keeps the relationship in the public eye and makes it hard for him to truly move on,” shared the insider.
For Ben, this chapter of his life has been a challenging one to close. The ongoing divorce process, which has dragged longer than anticipated, has added stress to his life. “He just wants to move on,” the source explained. “But the delays in finalizing the divorce are weighing on him. The longer it takes, the more it feels like he’s stuck in the past, unable to focus fully on what lies ahead.”
Despite the challenges, sources close to Ben insist that he is not unhappy or “miserable.” Rather, he is eager to carve out a life that is more focused on himself and his children. “Ben is relieved to see Jennifer thriving and focusing on herself,” a tipster revealed. “He’s genuinely glad that she’s embracing her independence, attending red carpet events, and looking as glamorous as ever. It’s a reminder that both of them have grown in different directions.”
Jennifer Lopez’s decision to file for divorce in August followed a highly publicized rekindling of their romance and subsequent marriage. Their two-year union was marked by intense media attention and high expectations from fans. However, both Affleck and Lopez appear ready to embrace a new chapter independently, prioritizing their personal well-being and individual careers.
